Lake District - a Rare Insight

The Lake District is seen by millions of visitors every year, but few have seen it as in the photographs reproduced in this book.

Taken from private collections and picture postcard images dating to the early 20th century, The Lake District - A Rare Insight includes hundreds of fascinating historic images of Cumbria.

See popular locations such as Keswick, Bowness, Hawkshead, Rydal, Penrith, Kendal, Grange-over-Sands, Grasmere, Ambleside along with all of the lakes and mountains which make up the Lake District.

The perfect local history book for anyone with an interest in the Lake District s past, and an ideal souvenir for the many tourists who visit each year.
